The Membership Roll of the 503d Parachute Regimental Combat Team Association, World War II, Inc. is closed. The Association has voted to be a "last man standing" Association, which places a finite life upon it as the last of the Paratroopers leave us.

The 503d PRCT Heritage Battalion has been recognized by our regimental Association as the entity to whom we have entrusted the preservation of our history during WWII.

Through the Heritage Battalion, those generations of our sons and brothers who have come within the professional shadow of our 503d Lineage, through service in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan we entrust our Heritage in the tradition which we started. 

There are also our own sons and daughters, and their sons and daughters, who have expressed their desire to preserve our Heritage and love of country.   With our passing, we want to leave them a framework for their own efforts.  

For it shall be to them that we shall pass our torch. 

Proud I'm Allowed,
William T. Calhoun
